I'm using the word "fanboyism" loosely here, as I suppose it can equate to being passionate about a particular band. And as you'll see, my list belongs in the "darkest desires" thread. I have every album by these bands, and although I won't admit to liking every last song, the % of songs I do love by each band is WAY up there. Here are my "fanboy" bands:
Opeth - without question, my favorite band. If I could, I would jam them down everybody's throat and tell them you don't know music if you don't like them. The first time I ever saw a song played live that brought a tear to my eye was the first time seeing Opeth. When The Drapery Falls started (which was my favorite song of all time until Ghost of Perdition), my eyes welled from the joy of being able to see my favorite all time song played live. It happened again when I saw them play Ghost of Perdition. The only other song that has ever been my favorite until taken over by The Drapery Falls, and was for around 30 years, was Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. I never got to see them live. I had tickets to see them in Montreal, but Bonham died around a week before the concert.
Grip Inc - Dave Lombardo from Slayer put this group togther. I can't quite explain it, but I feel their first album, the Power of Inner Strength, is one of the best flowing metal albums I've ever heard. It's not a story album, but it just flows to me.
The Project Hate MCMXCIX - this bands music is amazing to me. There is a certain power to their music that grips me.
Led Zeppelin - I've always believed this was the band the spawned the true metal of today. Every time I hear one of their songs (I only really dislike one song by them, D'yer Maker) I have to listen. Clsoing in on 40 years of loving this band.
There are many other bands I love, such as Dimmu Borgir, Meshuggah, Old Mans Child - the list goes on. But the four bands above are those I just can't get enough of.
